Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson surpassed the 10,000 yard rushing plateau. He is the 28th player in league history and third quickest to do so. He is grateful for his God-given talent and blessed to have had the players around him to make it happen. Erin Henderson returned last week after missing the previous week with personal reasons, but did not play Sunday against the Chicago Bears. Cordarrelle Patterson’s role in the Vikings offense continues to expand.

The Minnesota Vikings ride an impressive two-game winning streak into its Week 5 matchup against the lowly Tennessee Titans at Mall of America Field. The Titans boast one of the most explosive running backs in the NFL. But before last week’s big game, Chris Johnson has struggled to get yards behind an underperforming offensive line.

The Minnesota Vikings are going younger this offseason in their attempt to catch up with the rest of their division. Some of their most experienced starters have contracts and ages that make them candidates for a pay cut — or for simply being cut altogether.

Leslie Frazier insists he wasn’t trying to send a message when left tackle Bryant McKinnie, a fixture on the Minnesota Vikings offensive line for the past nine years, was abruptly released two days into Frazier’s first training camp as a head coach.

Minnesota’s three best offensive players, running back Adrian Peterson, receiver Percy Harvin and left guard Steve Hutchinson, are listed as questionable for the Vikings game against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday.
